Overview
POR_ID08_PORTOGRUARO_VIA_PIRANDELLO is a secondary treatment plant in Portogruaro, Veneto, Italy. It serves a small population of 50 and discharges 9.90 volume units of treated wastewater.
POR_ID08_PORTOGRUARO_VIA_PIRANDELLO is a wastewater treatment plant located in Portogruaro, a town in the Veneto region of northeastern Italy. The plant serves a small population of 50 and operates under Italy's implementation of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which sets treatment standards based on agglomeration size and receiving water sensitivity. As a secondary treatment facility, the plant provides biological treatment to reduce organic matter and suspended solids. And it discharges 9.90 volume units of treated effluent. The plant is situated inland, more than 10 km from the coast, but within 50 km of the Adriatic Sea. The treated effluent likely flows into local waterways that drain into the Adriatic Sea, contributing to the protection of coastal and marine ecosystems. The Veneto region's water bodies support diverse aquatic life and are important for regional agriculture and tourism.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the northern Adriatic Sea, a semi-enclosed basin with sensitive marine ecosystems. The area supports diverse aquatic life, including fish and bird species, and is influenced by agricultural runoff from the surrounding Veneto plain. Proper treatment helps reduce nutrient loading and protect downstream habitats.
